Baby steps...that's how it always feels at this stage. I've spent most of the last two weeks polishing, wire brushing, grinding down tool marks, getting rid of those last areas of extra metal. This is the result, not a whole lot different than last post:
I've also been looking for base for this piece. The last one was a third smaller, and would work on a tall wood base.
This one, not so much. I'm leaning towards a flat limestone block where she would rest asymmetrically, or 'sculpturally', I hope...
I've also been working on patinas, as I mentioned in the last post. Ric and I agree, that much needs to be the same between the two pieces, so it looks like shiny bronze boots are in this year...
Stay tuned.
